Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field of stage lights, and more particularly, relates to a stage light with capacitive rotation angle detection.
  • stage lights With the expansion of stage sites, some stages are set up far away from stage lights. Particularly, in some super-large-scale performance occasions, the required stage is very large, a stage light thus needs to illuminate very far. Accordingly, positioning of the stage light is required to be accurate enough to avoid a deviation that occurs during long-distance projection.
  • a photoelectric encoder or a magnetic encoder installed on a rotating shaft of a drive motor of a light holder or a supporting arm is used for indirectly measuring a rotation angle of the light holder or the supporting arm. Due to the fact that the photoelectric encoder or the magnetic encoder is limited in accuracy and relatively high in price, a transmission belt generally has a certain degree of elasticity, and sometimes a condition of tooth skipping may also occur, and in addition, there may be empty space between the belt and a gear, resulting in deviation between a final angle measurement result and an actual situation, existing stage lights thus are not suitable for long-distance projection positioning.
  • the present invention provides a stage light with capacitive rotation angle detection.
  • the capacitive rotation angle detection is based on a principle of capacitance to directly measure a rotation angle of a pivoting member relative to a supporting member, which can obtain more accurate measurement result, resulting in more accurate projection positioning of stage lighting.
  • the stage light with capacitive rotation angle detection includes a pivoting member and a supporting member for pivoting and supporting the pivoting member.
  • the pivoting member rotates around a rotating center line and includes at least one light source for projecting light beams.
  • a reflecting grating is attached on the pivoting member, which can rotate along with the pivoting member.
  • a signal grating is attached on the supporting member. The signal grating and the reflecting grating are arranged oppositely, and center lines of the signal grating and the reflecting grating both coincide with the rotating center line of the pivoting member.
  • the signal grating includes a plurality of capacitance emitting pieces, a capacitance receiving piece, and a shielding piece that is located between the capacitance emitting pieces and the capacitance receiving piece for avoiding direct capacitance coupling between the capacitance emitting pieces and the capacitance receiving piece.
  • the reflecting grating includes a plurality of capacitance reflecting pieces that reflect signals sent from the capacitance emitting pieces to the capacitance receiving piece.
  • the signal grating is attached onto the supporting member to rotate along with the supporting member, and the signal grating and the reflecting grating are arranged oppositely.
  • a periodic excitation signal applied to the capacitance emitting pieces of the signal grating finally forms a composite signal on the capacitance receiving piece of the signal grating through coupling of two pairs of capacitors of the capacitance emitting pieces of the signal grating and the capacitance reflecting pieces of the reflecting grating, and the capacitance reflecting pieces of the reflecting grating and the capacitance receiving piece of the signal grating.
  • the capacitance emitting pieces can be divided into multiple groups, all the groups are equal in number.
  • the capacitance reflecting pieces are also arranged into multiple pieces corresponding to the number of the groups of the capacitance emitting pieces, and the capacitance receiving piece is a single piece which receives all signals of the capacitance emitting pieces reflected by the capacitance reflecting pieces.
  • the capacitance receiving piece is located at a center position of the signal grating, and the capacitance emitting pieces surround the capacitance receiving piece. In a case of the same area of the signal grating, more group of the capacitance emitting pieces can be arranged conveniently, the detection accuracy thus can be improved.
  • Each group of the capacitance emitting pieces are numbered clockwise or anticlockwise, circuit connecting points of the capacitance emitting pieces with the same number are all connected with a same conductive ring to connect a same circuit.
  • the conductive ring is located on a side, away from the reflecting grating, of the capacitance emitting pieces, so that the capacitance emitting pieces of the same number can be easily connected to the same circuit.
  • distances from the circuit connecting points of the capacitance emitting pieces of the same number to a center of the signal grating are equal.
  • the multiple conductive rings can be designed into circular and arranged in a concentric ring, which facilitates designing and processing.
  • Manufacturing accuracy of a capacitance-grating sensor is improved through a space averaging effect produced by the multiple groups of the capacitance emitting pieces with the same interval. Measurement accuracy can also be improved in a case of the same capacitance-grating manufacturing accuracy.
  • the shielding piece includes a plurality of conductive posts located between the capacitance emitting pieces and the capacitance receiving piece, and a first conductive piece located on a side, away from the reflecting grating, of the capacitance receiving piece, and the conductive post is connected to the first conductive piece.
  • the configuration of the conductive posts enables the capacitance emitting pieces and the capacitance receiving piece to have a good shielding effect from a side close to the reflecting grating to a side away from the reflecting grating.
  • a projection of the first conductive piece in a direction of the rotating center line of the pivoting member covers the capacitance receiving piece and is within a range of the capacitance emitting pieces, so that the good shielding effect can be kept.
  • the multiple pieces of the capacitance reflecting pieces are all electrically connected with a same second conductive piece.
  • the second conductive piece is located on a side, away from the signal grating, of the capacitance reflecting pieces, and a projection of the second conductive piece in the direction of the rotating center line of the pivoting member covers the capacitance reflecting pieces.
  • the second conductive piece plays a shielding role.
  • the reflecting grating further includes a third conductive piece located in a same plane with the capacitance reflecting pieces, a peripheral edge of the third conductive piece has a plurality of notches.
  • the capacitance reflecting pieces are located in the notch, correspondingly, but are not in conducting with the third conductive piece.
  • the third conductive piece also plays a shielding role.
  • the capacitance emitting pieces can be specifically divided into 15 groups, there are 8 capacitance emitting pieces in each group, and the number of the capacitance reflecting pieces is also 15. The larger the number of the capacitance emitting pieces and the capacitance reflecting piece is, the higher the detection accuracy will be.
  • a side, close to the signal grating, of the reflecting grating and a side, away from the signal grating, of the reflecting grating are both provided with an insulating protective piece. It is avoided that electrodes of the reflecting grating make contact with other elements and a short circuit is caused.
  • the reflecting grating is attached to a pivoting shaft of the pivoting member.
  • the signal grating is generally arranged in the supporting member because it needs to be connected with a signal line, a terminal end of the pivoting shaft can also stretch into the supporting member, and thus, the reflecting grating without needing to be connected with a signal line is attached onto the pivoting shaft of the pivoting member so as to be detected by the signal grating.
  • two ends of the pivoting shaft of the pivoting member run through, and a cable connecting the pivoting member and the supporting member passes through the pivoting shaft, so that the pivoting shaft provided with the reflecting grating has a wire passing function at the same time.
  • the pivoting member has only one pivoting shaft or when a wire needs to pass through both two pivoting shafts of the pivoting member, signal and electric energy transmitting between the pivoting member and the supporting member is still not affected.
  • one end of a rod body is connected with the reflecting grating, and the other end of the rod body is connected with an end portion, away from the pivoting member, of the pivoting shaft. Due to the fact that a center line of a through hole formed by that the two ends of the pivoting shaft of the pivoting member run through generally coincides with the rotating center line of the pivoting member, the reflecting grating cannot be attached onto the pivoting shaft of the pivoting member conveniently, and through the rod body, it can be achieved that even if the two ends of the pivoting shaft of the pivoting member run through, a center line of the reflecting grating can also coincide with the rotating center line of the pivoting member.
  • the rod body is located in the pivoting shaft and arranged in parallel with the pivoting shaft. One end of the rod body is connected with the reflecting grating, and the other end of the rod body is connected with the pivoting member.
  • the rod body is located in the pivoting shaft and directly connected with the pivoting member, which is simpler compared with a structure of connection with the end portion, away from the pivoting member, of the pivoting shaft, similarly, it can be achieved that even if the two ends of the pivoting shaft of the pivoting member run through, and the center line of the reflecting grating can also coincide with the rotating center line of the pivoting member.
  • the reflecting grating can be annular shape, and the pivoting shaft of the pivoting member passes through the reflecting grating. That is, the reflecting grating directly sleeves an exterior of the pivoting shaft, or the reflecting grating is attached onto the pivoting member, but is arranged around the pivoting haft of the pivoting member.
  • the reflecting grating cannot be attached to the end portion of the pivoting shaft, this structure can still realize that the center line of the reflecting grating keeps coincident with the rotating center line of the pivoting member.
  • a magnetic sensor attached to the pivoting member and a magnetic switch attached to the supporting member for detecting the magnetic sensor are further included.
  • the magnetic sensor and the magnetic switch act jointly to perform starting point detection or resetting detection.
  • the pivoting member can be a light holder of the stage light, and the supporting member can be a supporting arm of the light holder. Or the pivoting member can be the light holder of the stage light and the supporting arm, and the supporting member can be a light base of the stage light.

  • the reflecting grating 400 thus generally does not need to be connected to any signal line, and the signal grating 300 needs to be connected to a signal line. Therefore, it is preferable to attach the reflecting grating 400 that does not need to be connected to a signal line on the rotating pivoting member, and the signal grating 300 that needs to be connected to the signal line is arranged on the supporting member, which conforms to general design routine.

Description

    TECHNICAL FIELD
  • The present invention relates to the technical field of stage lights, and more particularly, relates to a stage light with capacitive rotation angle detection.
  • BACKGROUND
  • With the expansion of stage sites, some stages are set up far away from stage lights. Particularly, in some super-large-scale performance occasions, the required stage is very large, a stage light thus needs to illuminate very far. Accordingly, positioning of the stage light is required to be accurate enough to avoid a deviation that occurs during long-distance projection.
  • At present, mostly, a photoelectric encoder or a magnetic encoder installed on a rotating shaft of a drive motor of a light holder or a supporting arm is used for indirectly measuring a rotation angle of the light holder or the supporting arm. Due to the fact that the photoelectric encoder or the magnetic encoder is limited in accuracy and relatively high in price, a transmission belt generally has a certain degree of elasticity, and sometimes a condition of tooth skipping may also occur, and in addition, there may be empty space between the belt and a gear, resulting in deviation between a final angle measurement result and an actual situation, existing stage lights thus are not suitable for long-distance projection positioning.
  • SUMMARY
  • In order to overcome at least one of the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, the present invention provides a stage light with capacitive rotation angle detection. The capacitive rotation angle detection is based on a principle of capacitance to directly measure a rotation angle of a pivoting member relative to a supporting member, which can obtain more accurate measurement result, resulting in more accurate projection positioning of stage lighting.
  • According to the present invention, the stage light with capacitive rotation angle detection includes a pivoting member and a supporting member for pivoting and supporting the pivoting member. The pivoting member rotates around a rotating center line and includes at least one light source for projecting light beams. A reflecting grating is attached on the pivoting member, which can rotate along with the pivoting member. A signal grating is attached on the supporting member. The signal grating and the reflecting grating are arranged oppositely, and center lines of the signal grating and the reflecting grating both coincide with the rotating center line of the pivoting member. The signal grating includes a plurality of capacitance emitting pieces, a capacitance receiving piece, and a shielding piece that is located between the capacitance emitting pieces and the capacitance receiving piece for avoiding direct capacitance coupling between the capacitance emitting pieces and the capacitance receiving piece. The reflecting grating includes a plurality of capacitance reflecting pieces that reflect signals sent from the capacitance emitting pieces to the capacitance receiving piece.
  • According to the stage light with capacitive rotation angle detection of the present invention, by directly attaching the signal grating to the supporting member to be relatively stationary, the signal grating is attached onto the supporting member to rotate along with the supporting member, and the signal grating and the reflecting grating are arranged oppositely. When working, a periodic excitation signal applied to the capacitance emitting pieces of the signal grating finally forms a composite signal on the capacitance receiving piece of the signal grating through coupling of two pairs of capacitors of the capacitance emitting pieces of the signal grating and the capacitance reflecting pieces of the reflecting grating, and the capacitance reflecting pieces of the reflecting grating and the capacitance receiving piece of the signal grating. Based on a principle of a capacitance change, with proper preventive measures, there are advantages of oil pollution prevention, dust prevention, insensitivity to air humidity and temperature and the like, a detection performance thus is more stable. A rotation angle of the pivoting member is directly measured, a deviation in a transmission process thus will not affect measurement of an actual result.
  • According to the present invention, the capacitance emitting pieces can be divided into multiple groups, all the groups are equal in number. The capacitance reflecting pieces are also arranged into multiple pieces corresponding to the number of the groups of the capacitance emitting pieces, and the capacitance receiving piece is a single piece which receives all signals of the capacitance emitting pieces reflected by the capacitance reflecting pieces.
  • The capacitance receiving piece is located at a center position of the signal grating, and the capacitance emitting pieces surround the capacitance receiving piece. In a case of the same area of the signal grating, more group of the capacitance emitting pieces can be arranged conveniently, the detection accuracy thus can be improved.
  • Each group of the capacitance emitting pieces are numbered clockwise or anticlockwise, circuit connecting points of the capacitance emitting pieces with the same number are all connected with a same conductive ring to connect a same circuit. The conductive ring is located on a side, away from the reflecting grating, of the capacitance emitting pieces, so that the capacitance emitting pieces of the same number can be easily connected to the same circuit.
  • According the present invention, distances from the circuit connecting points of the capacitance emitting pieces of the same number to a center of the signal grating are equal. In this way, the multiple conductive rings can be designed into circular and arranged in a concentric ring, which facilitates designing and processing.
  • Manufacturing accuracy of a capacitance-grating sensor is improved through a space averaging effect produced by the multiple groups of the capacitance emitting pieces with the same interval. Measurement accuracy can also be improved in a case of the same capacitance-grating manufacturing accuracy.
  • The shielding piece includes a plurality of conductive posts located between the capacitance emitting pieces and the capacitance receiving piece, and a first conductive piece located on a side, away from the reflecting grating, of the capacitance receiving piece, and the conductive post is connected to the first conductive piece. The configuration of the conductive posts enables the capacitance emitting pieces and the capacitance receiving piece to have a good shielding effect from a side close to the reflecting grating to a side away from the reflecting grating.
  • A projection of the first conductive piece in a direction of the rotating center line of the pivoting member covers the capacitance receiving piece and is within a range of the capacitance emitting pieces, so that the good shielding effect can be kept.
  • According to the present invention, the multiple pieces of the capacitance reflecting pieces are all electrically connected with a same second conductive piece. The second conductive piece is located on a side, away from the signal grating, of the capacitance reflecting pieces, and a projection of the second conductive piece in the direction of the rotating center line of the pivoting member covers the capacitance reflecting pieces. The second conductive piece plays a shielding role.
  • According to the present invention, the reflecting grating further includes a third conductive piece located in a same plane with the capacitance reflecting pieces, a peripheral edge of the third conductive piece has a plurality of notches. The capacitance reflecting pieces are located in the notch, correspondingly, but are not in conducting with the third conductive piece. The third conductive piece also plays a shielding role.
  • The capacitance emitting pieces can be specifically divided into 15 groups, there are 8 capacitance emitting pieces in each group, and the number of the capacitance reflecting pieces is also 15. The larger the number of the capacitance emitting pieces and the capacitance reflecting piece is, the higher the detection accuracy will be.
  • According to the present invention, a side, close to the signal grating, of the reflecting grating and a side, away from the signal grating, of the reflecting grating are both provided with an insulating protective piece. It is avoided that electrodes of the reflecting grating make contact with other elements and a short circuit is caused.
  • The reflecting grating is attached to a pivoting shaft of the pivoting member. The signal grating is generally arranged in the supporting member because it needs to be connected with a signal line, a terminal end of the pivoting shaft can also stretch into the supporting member, and thus, the reflecting grating without needing to be connected with a signal line is attached onto the pivoting shaft of the pivoting member so as to be detected by the signal grating.
  • According to the present invention, two ends of the pivoting shaft of the pivoting member run through, and a cable connecting the pivoting member and the supporting member passes through the pivoting shaft, so that the pivoting shaft provided with the reflecting grating has a wire passing function at the same time. When the pivoting member has only one pivoting shaft or when a wire needs to pass through both two pivoting shafts of the pivoting member, signal and electric energy transmitting between the pivoting member and the supporting member is still not affected.
  • According to the present invention, one end of a rod body is connected with the reflecting grating, and the other end of the rod body is connected with an end portion, away from the pivoting member, of the pivoting shaft. Due to the fact that a center line of a through hole formed by that the two ends of the pivoting shaft of the pivoting member run through generally coincides with the rotating center line of the pivoting member, the reflecting grating cannot be attached onto the pivoting shaft of the pivoting member conveniently, and through the rod body, it can be achieved that even if the two ends of the pivoting shaft of the pivoting member run through, a center line of the reflecting grating can also coincide with the rotating center line of the pivoting member.
  • The rod body is located in the pivoting shaft and arranged in parallel with the pivoting shaft. One end of the rod body is connected with the reflecting grating, and the other end of the rod body is connected with the pivoting member. When an internal space of the pivoting member is proper, the rod body is located in the pivoting shaft and directly connected with the pivoting member, which is simpler compared with a structure of connection with the end portion, away from the pivoting member, of the pivoting shaft, similarly, it can be achieved that even if the two ends of the pivoting shaft of the pivoting member run through, and the center line of the reflecting grating can also coincide with the rotating center line of the pivoting member.
  • According to the present invention, the reflecting grating can be annular shape, and the pivoting shaft of the pivoting member passes through the reflecting grating. That is, the reflecting grating directly sleeves an exterior of the pivoting shaft, or the reflecting grating is attached onto the pivoting member, but is arranged around the pivoting haft of the pivoting member. When the reflecting grating cannot be attached to the end portion of the pivoting shaft, this structure can still realize that the center line of the reflecting grating keeps coincident with the rotating center line of the pivoting member.
  • According to the present invention, a magnetic sensor attached to the pivoting member and a magnetic switch attached to the supporting member for detecting the magnetic sensor are further included. The magnetic sensor and the magnetic switch act jointly to perform starting point detection or resetting detection.
  • The pivoting member can be a light holder of the stage light, and the supporting member can be a supporting arm of the light holder. Or the pivoting member can be the light holder of the stage light and the supporting arm, and the supporting member can be a light base of the stage light.
  • At least one of a light beam shading component, a pattern reshaping component, a color rendering component, a focusing lens component, a light splitting component, an atomizing component, and a magnifying lens component is in the pivoting member.

  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • The accompanying drawings are only for illustrative descriptions and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present patent; in order to better illustrate the present embodiment, some parts of the accompanying drawings may be omitted, enlarged or reduced, and do not represent a size of an actual product; it is understandable for those skilled in the art that some well-known structures in the drawings and their descriptions may be omitted. The positional relationship described in the drawings is only for illustrative descriptions and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present patent.
  • As in FIG. 1 to FIG. 9, a stage light with capacitive rotation angle detection according to some embodiments is provided, which includes a pivoting member and a supporting member for pivoting and supporting the pivoting member. The pivoting member rotates around a rotating center line. The stage light further includes at least one light source for projecting light beams. A reflecting grating 400 is attached on the pivoting member, which rotates along with the pivoting member. A signal grating 300 is attached on the supporting member, which is arranged oppositely with the reflecting grating 400, Center lines of the signal grating 300 and the reflecting grating 400 both coincide with the rotating center line of the pivoting member. The signal grating 300 includes a plurality of capacitance emitting pieces 320, a capacitance receiving piece 340, and a shielding piece 350 that is located between the capacitance emitting pieces 320 and the capacitance receiving piece 340 for avoiding direct capacitance coupling between the capacitance emitting pieces 320 and the capacitance receiving piece 340. The reflecting grating 400 includes a plurality of capacitance reflecting pieces 410 that reflect signals sent from the capacitance emitting pieces 320 to the capacitance receiving piece 340.
  • According to the stage light with capacitive rotation angle detection, by directly attaching the signal grating 300 to the supporting member to be relatively stationary, the signal grating 300 is attached onto the supporting member to rotate along with the supporting member, and the signal grating 300 and the reflecting grating 400 are arranged oppositely. When in operation, a periodic excitation signal applied to the capacitance emitting pieces 320 of the signal grating 300 finally forms a composite signal on the capacitance receiving piece 340 of the signal grating 300 through coupling of two pairs of capacitors of the capacitance emitting pieces 320 of the signal grating 300 and the capacitance reflecting pieces 410 of the reflecting grating 400, and the capacitance reflecting pieces 410 of the reflecting grating 400 and the capacitance receiving piece 340 of the signal grating 300. Based on a principle of a capacitance change, with proper preventive measures, there are advantages of oil pollution prevention, dust prevention, insensitivity to air humidity and temperature and the like, a detection performance is thus more stable. What's more, a rotation angle of the pivoting member is directly measured, a deviation in a transmission process thus will not affect measurement of an actual result.
  • A working principle of the signal grating 300 and the reflecting grating 400 is that after the signal emitted by the capacitance emitting pieces 320 of the signal grating 300 is reflected by the capacitance reflecting pieces 410 of the reflecting grating 400, it is then received by the capacitance receiving piece 340 of the signal grating 300. The reflecting grating 400 thus generally does not need to be connected to any signal line, and the signal grating 300 needs to be connected to a signal line. Therefore, it is preferable to attach the reflecting grating 400 that does not need to be connected to a signal line on the rotating pivoting member, and the signal grating 300 that needs to be connected to the signal line is arranged on the supporting member, which conforms to general design routine. It should be pointed out that if the reflecting grating 400 is forcibly attached on the supporting member and the signal grating 300 is attached on the pivoting member in order to circumvent the present application, it should be regarded as an inferior design of the present application, and is also within the scope of protection of the present application.
  • According to a preferred embodiment, referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the pivoting member can be a light holder 110 of the stage light, and the supporting member can be a supporting arm 120 of the light holder 110.

The various above-mentioned components are generally located in the light holder 110 of the stage light, and respectively realize effects of shading peripheries of a light beam, reshaping patterns of the light beam, rendering colors of the light beam, adjusting a focus of the light beam, splitting the light beam, homogenizing light of the light beam, and magnifying light spots.

The conductive posts 351 are connected to the first conductive piece 352. The configuration of the conductive posts 351 enables the capacitance emitting pieces 320 and the capacitance receiving piece 340 to have a good shielding effect from a side close to the reflecting grating 400 to a side away from the reflecting grating 400. In the present embodiment, the conductive posts 351 are arranged closely, and an interval between each other is less than 1mm.
  • In a preferred embodiment, a projection of the first conductive piece 352 in a direction of the rotating center line of the pivoting member covers the capacitance receiving piece 340 and is within a range of the capacitance emitting pieces 320, so that good shielding effect can be kept.

However, the capacitance reflecting pieces 410 are not in conducting with the third conductive piece 412. The third conductive piece 412 also plays a shielding role.
  • As in FIG. 2, in a preferred embodiment, the capacitance emitting pieces 320 are divided into 15 groups, there are 8 capacitance emitting pieces in each group, and the number of the capacitance reflecting pieces 410 is also 15.

Due to the fact that a center line of a through hole formed by that the two ends of the pivoting shaft 200 of the pivoting member run through generally coincides with the rotating center line of the pivoting member, the reflecting grating 400 cannot be attached onto the pivoting shaft 200 of the pivoting member conveniently.
